Fat Fit & Feeling Fabulous

This is the story of how Vevanne Biggs, a 46-year-old, 310-pound woman, became a triathlete--competing in races that combine swimming, cycling, and marathon running--with dreams of becoming an "Ironwoman" by her 50th birthday. This is a success story, but not for reasons you might think. Vevanne Biggs did not suddenly become thin--in fact she will probably never be thin! Instead she discovered a marvelous secret: that exercise can help overcome fear, break down personal barriers, and create a greater life than she could have ever dreamed possible. Candid, inspiring, and above all, real, this woman offers no magic solution, no quick fix. Instead she points to a challenging path that requires courage and devotion, and promises health and happiness for both body and soul.
